Y Camps are for Everyone
Y camps are for every child and youth in our communities. Because camp can have a profoundly positive and lasting effect on children, we are dedicated to ensuring that as many kids as possible have access to a YMCA-YWCA camp experience.

We provide financial help for those who otherwise couldn't afford the experience and integrate children with special needs while giving them one-on-one support. There is also the Evelyn E Laishley Campership Fund available to support qualifying campers who need financial assistance to attend Camp Otonabee.

Integration Program for Campers with Special Needs
One-on-one support is available in most programs for children with special needs. Parents/guardians and campers must arrange an interview at least two weeks prior to the start of the camp session with the local camp coordinator. An additional fee of $40/week is required to participate in this program. Limited space is available. To learn more, please call us at 613-832-1234 or email day.camps@ymcaywca.ca.
